Rubber products in general age here, including glue: shoes etc fall apart whilst looking brand new. I find that anything with a rubber coating or made of rubber here degrades even when kept in a bag, but in a non-air-conditioned place. It is the humidity which sucks out the rubberising chemicals, resulting in a white powdery deposit. Regarding tyres I have some Michelins on a CRV which are just over 5 years old - 5220 code. They're only half worn but there are small cracks appearing between the treads and they are a little noisy. This may to some not be a reason to splash out on new ones but I have changed tyres at this age before and have noticed a huge difference in grip and comfort in the past, so probably will bite the bullet and change them.

No, it's pure propaganda. A lot of western media publications have also been proven to be highly anti-semitic. The 70,000 dead, if that anything like the truth, will be armed, violent opponents. The IDF have been extremely restrained, if they wanted to actually have a genocide that would have happened in the first week. On the contrary, the population in Gaza has increased substantially in the last couple of years. Israel is the only democracy in the entire region and the only one not to have massively reduced its Christian population recently. Non-Islamist supporters of Hamas and 'Palestinians' (name coined by Yasser Arafat for previously Lebanese) are the most ludicrously brainwashed useful idiots I have ever heard of and are the real genocide supporters here.

Not sure if it ever had much charm, wife and I went a few years ago and it was purely backpacker oriented, not even a single proper bar or restaurant, just backpacker style food and drinks from street stalls, very dull indeed. Perfect for the Israeli style groups straight out of the army, still in their platoons complete with sergeant, unfortunately. I've nothing against Israelis but they do get very antisocial to others in these groups. Israelis were banned from India for a while back in the 90's for their ex-soldiers' aggression and selfishness. I met a lot there, fine in ones and twos but they'd pretend they didn't know us non-Israelis when they met bigger groups. I suppose it's hard to defend that as non-racist unfortunately.

Are you admitting that you seriously believe Hamas' propaganda?

Yeah, a guy recently found his auto-vacuum cleaner was bizarrely sending floor plans of his house to the manufacturer. When he investigated the software they then bricked his new vacuum cleaner.

As Cambodians are highly unlikely to speak Russian, plus it would be a bit of a giveaway, far more likely for Russian mercs to use English, which is widely spoken in Cambodia and pretty much everywhere else..

Their 'prison guards' are Hamas, not Israel.

What has this got to do with a newspaper? In a blistering internal cable sent to US embassies worldwide, the White House torched both Conservatives and Labour for “repeatedly letting down” the British public, accusing Westminster of enabling grooming gangs, violent assaults and the “collapse of social cohesion.” The memo explicitly singles out the UK as a cautionary tale of what Trump officials call Europe’s “failed mass migration experiment.”

I think they have enough of the same problem in Scotland already. Hadrian's Wall is well south of the border by the way, the eastern end being at Wallsend, Newcastle for some reason.

A gigantic wet fart to look forward to then?

Head in sand a tad??

There is a bit of a point: water made in desalinations plants, ie the very cheapest ones, lack necessary minerals found in the natural spring water brands, which aren't necessarily much dearer. A good way round that is sachets of electrolyte powder every day or two. Or beer..

Not since humanity became a serious threat to it, no. There haven't been billions of us for millennia as I'm sure you must be aware.

Just another lunatic refusing to believe millions of tons of gasses released by burning ancient stores of energy won't have any effect. Utterly ridiculous. Don't want inconvenience so it's not happening.

Plus as I experienced in China, no-one uses lights at night as it reduces power and range.
